T 0` all whomt'may'concem:

. Be itknown that l, WILL'IAM F. LANGE, a citizen of theY United: States,residing' at Elgin, in the'county` ofKane andfSta-te of Illinois, have invented certain new vand use'- full Improvements in Combination Egg Beaters 'andiCream Removers; and I, hereby declare that the following is a full, clear.

and exact description thereof, reference be .l

invention, and will explain the same with reference theretoto enabllemotliersto adopt and use .thesame, andjwill'summarize in the claims the j novel features of construction and novel combinations Iof protection is desired.

l The device comprises tubular easing l, a tubular plunger v2, and removable plugs 3 and 4.

The tubularv casing l, as shown, ispreferably open at the top and bottom,land`yis provided at its lower end with a number of small notches l, as shown in l and 2, through which notches the legg or cream, during the whipping or beating operations, is alternately lsucked and discharged, as hereinaftery explained, for the purpose of disintegratingltl'i'esame. A handle la is attached 'to the upper end of casing l, as shown in Figs. l and 2, said handle preferably comprising a U-shaped wire securely soldered or otherwise fastened to the outer side of said casing, adjacent the upper end thereof.

The plug 3' is open atl topi but the lower* end thereof is t perforatedv asv at 3 said perfo-rations being vof any desired fnumber and size.

may be used iny place of :plug 3:, said, plug To use the device as a beater, as shown in Figs. l and 2, plunger 2 is placed in the casing l and the lower end of casing l submerged in the egg or crea-m to be beaten or whipped, the lower end of the casing rest ing` on the plate or bowl containing the egg or cream. The operator may then insert his fingers between the head 2EL and the finger piece 2c on the tube 2b and close the tube 2b with his thumb, and then reciprocate the plunger 2 within casing l, said casing being held against the bottom of the container by means of the handle la. plunger 2 is drawn up within the casing l, the egg or cream is sucked into the lower portion of the casing through the notches lb in the bot-tom thereof, and as the plunger 2 is depressed, the egg or cream is forced out through the notches lb and up through the perforations 3b, the egg or cream being disintegrated as it passes through the notches lb and perforations 3b.

contained therein.

If desired, the lsolid plug may be placed in the lower end of the plunger in place of the perforated plug 3, then kthe tube 2b does not have to be closed by the thumb. yBy reciprocating the plunger 2 in the casing l, the liquid will be alternately sucked and discharged through the notches 1b, andthereby disintegrated as above described.

, i/Vhen it is desired to remove cream from milk bottles and the like, the plunger 2 may be Vwithdrawn from the casing 1 and used separately, with the perforated plug 3inserted in the lower end thereof. By inserting the fingers between the head 2a and the finger piece 2c the member 2 may be inserted slowly and carefully into the top of the milk bottle down through the cream to the milk line. Then, the upper end of the tube is closed by the thumb, and the plunger 2 lifted out of the milk bottle with the cream Plunger 2 may then be inserted into any suitable container, and upon removing the thumb from the top of tube 2b, the cream will flow from the plunger into said container. This operation may be repeated until all the cream has been re-A moved from the bottle.

What I claim is: i

l. A device for the purpose specified, comprising a tubular casing open at top and bottom, and a tubular plunger slidably mounted in said casing and adapted to be reciprocated therein, and to be closed at the top by the thumb of the operator, substantially as described. f

2.v In a device as set forth in claim 1, a removable plug adapted to be inserted in the lower end of said plunger.

3. A devicefor the purpose specified comprising a tubular casing open at top and bottom and having notches 1n its lower edge,

As the` said casing and adapted'to be reciprocated therein, and open at the bottom, and a tube on the upper end-of said plunger forming an operating handle for said "plunger and adapted to be closed by thethumb or vfinger of the operator, substantially as described.

6. In a device as set forth in claim a removable plug adapted to be inserted in the lower end of said plunger for the purpose specified.y

7. In a device as set forth in claim 5, a finger piece on said tube forming anoperating handle for said plunger and intermediate the ends thereof, substantiallyas described. y

8. A device for the purpose specified comprising a casing open. at the top and bottom and having notches in its lower edge and a handle attached to its upper end. a tubular plunger adapted to be reciprocated within said casing, a tube attached to the upper end of said plunger, said tube adapted to be closed by the thumb or fingerof the operator, and a` finger piece on said tuber forming an operating handle for said plunger intermediate the ends'thereof, substantially as described.

9. In a device as set forth lin claim 8 a removable plug adapted to be insertedy in the lower end of vsaid plunger, for thepurpose specified.

l0. In adevice for the purpose specified, a tubular member open at the bottom, a tube of smaller diameter attached to the upper end of said member and adapted to be closed at its upper end by the thumb or linger of the operator.

lll. In a device as set forth in claim 10, a finger piece mounted on the tube intermediate the ends thereof, substantially as described. n

Y l2. In a device as set forth in claim l0, a removable plug adapted to be inserted in the lower end of said member, for the purpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I affix my signature.
